Kellyanne Conway mocked CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta during a press gaggle on Tuesday.
Kellyanne Conway embarrassed CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta during a press gaggle on Tuesday, referring to him as a "smarta--" unliked by other reporters.
Acosta asked Conway if she could promise that President Trump would tell the truth when addressing the nation on Tuesday night.
“Yes, Jim” Conway shot back, “Can you promise you will … the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Am I allowed I say 'God 'to you?”
Acosta – who has emerged as a household name for interruptions when Trump and members of his administration are made available to the press – responded by telling Conway that he doesn’t have an “alternative facts” problem like she does.
“Make sure that goes viral. This is why I’m one of the only people around here who gives you the time of day,” Conway said. “You’re such a smarta-- most of the time and I know you want this to go viral."

They are not used to people talking back to them.
Jim Acosta is a putz.
Lil Jim Acosta, like the rest of the far left Communist “media” think its their job to tell US what to think..its in the Communist Manifesto, to turn us into sheep, so we won’t think for ourselves. They actually believe that, that its their JOB to tell us how to think just like them..to believe what they believe
The WH wimped out when it gave Acosta his credentials back.
He really is a smart ass little punk.
Amen to that.
Why doesn’t Abilio Acosta go by his given name? Is he ashamed of his Hispanic heritage?
Seth Meyers, host of "Late Night" on NBC, said the president wants to deliver the speech on Tuesday night "to repeat his lies," and questioned the decision to give him air time.
“First of all, just because Trump wants to address the nation doesn’t mean networks should air it,” Meyers said. "Otherwise, they’re just passing on his lies unfiltered."
"They should either reject him outright, or, if he insists on speaking in primetime, make him do it as a contestant on 'The Masked Singer,'" Meyers joked.
Stephen Colbert, who hosts "The Late Show" on CBS, tweeted Monday night that the network would air the president's speech. He invited to viewers "tune into CBS to See B.S."
"My network will be carrying Trump’s Wall speech live. So at 9pm Tuesday, tune into CBS to See B.S. — Stephen Colbert (@StephenAtHome) January 8, 2019"
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) says he expects President Trump "to lie to the American people" during a primetime address on Tuesday about the partial government shutdown and situation at the southern border.
“I expect the president to lie to the American people. Why do I expect this? Because he has been lying to the American people," Nadler said at a press conference near the border on Monday.
I agree.
He and CNN have a First Amendment right but after behavior such as his for months doesn’t mean he has the right to be issued a press pass for the WH.
You’re right. That’s bulls*it.
When you can't win on the facts, attack the messenger.
You work for CNN Jim. The truth is that half of this country wants your commie head on a pike. Still want the truth?
Yep
Her POS husband will now feel compelled to come to AholeCosta’s defense.
I couldn’t agree more. The RATs will stoop to anything to denigrate President Trump and it’s not only getting old but I believe it’ll come back to bite ‘em in the butt.
The truth is that half of this country wants your commie head on a pike.

What a waste of a good pike.
